Before Alateen, I thought it was my responsibility to make my grandparents and my mom stop arguing.

In this heartfelt episode of Recovery Radio Network, you'll hear the powerful stories of Alexis and Nicole, two Alateen members who share their personal journeys through the chaos of alcoholism in their families. Alexis recounts her early years marked by her father’s departure and her mother’s tumultuous relationships, which led to a childhood overshadowed by alcohol abuse.

Despite the instability, Alexis found solace and understanding through Alateen, where she learned that she wasn’t responsible for her family’s problems and discovered healthier ways to cope with her emotions.

Her journey towards independence and self-acceptance is both inspiring and relatable. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the impact of alcoholism on young lives and the healing potential of support groups like Alateen.
